A group of eunuchs rushed in from the bell tower outside Xuanwu Gate for many years. After a while, the melodious and thick bell echoed in the sky. The bell pierced the gloomy mist, dispelled the flying snowflakes, and became messy.

The howling north wind echoed in the sky of Shangjing for a long time. (.._Bao & Book & Bar)

It is only more than ten days before the New Year. All departments and officials have already had their rest and holidays. In the yamen, there are almost no figures in them, and the melodious bells are heard.

At the first moment, these people almost thought they had heard it wrong, rushed out of the house, stood in the yard, not caring that the snowflakes wet the collars, the cold wind blew the hair, and listened carefully, and finally confirmed that the bell was indeed from

When the once dusty bell tower outside Xuanwu Gate was standing in the yard, he opened his throat and shouted out the guards who were lying in the hut, drinking small wine. After a while

, each of them had a stream of people pouring out from the yamen, and each rushed to the home of the head of their department.

The bell echoed in Shangjing. This generation of Shangjing people had never heard such a loud and melodious bell. Many people were even interested in listening to the work in their hands and admired it. They even thought that this was for Shangjing.

The bells ringing when celebrating the coming of the New Year are only those old people with gray beards that are far away the next day. After hearing the bells, they recall some bad things from the deepest part of their memory.

His body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Cao Yi rushed out of the house as soon as possible, but the eight-carrying sedan special for the slaughter was not ready. He had already snatched a horse and rushed out of the mansion after he beat the horse. The guards behind him were shocked.

, and he was chasing him desperately. Although Cao Yi was the prime minister, he was not powerless.

Guan Pengju, who was sixty years old, was naked, holding a stone lock in the bitter cold wind in the yard. Although time left a ravine on his face, his body was not as sag as an old man, but still

The muscles were clearly angular and around him. They were the third and fourth generation descendants of the Guan family. When they heard the bell, they threw away the stone lock, rushed into the house in a few steps. They put on a piece of clothing and rushed out of the yard.

The family behind took the general's uniform and chased him closely behind.

The bell is still ringing, Li Xiao is in the small hall, with Xinmei, Nianyun, Chunhong is eating breakfast, Nianyun and Chunhong have been promoted to concubines, because Chunhong is Xinmei's personal servant

So although Chunhong has a reputation now, she still respectfully served millet porridge for the people on the table.

Just after taking a few mouthfuls of rice porridge, Li Xiao heard the bell. He stood up suddenly, his eyebrows were raised, and he turned around and walked out. *...*Book! Book bar**Some people in the house were also

He stood up, his face full of surprise.

The eldest prince Li Jian broke his leg. Although he had been on a plywood for more than a month, he still had a plywood and could not walk. He usually just lay on a soft couch. Hearing the bell, Li Jian jumped up

, I didn't expect that one leg would be ineffective. As soon as I stood up, I screamed and fell down again. The girls and guards in the room were so scared that they called the doctor one after another.

Li Jian, who stood up with the support of the guards, limped into the yard and shouted: "Prepare horses. Prepare horses!" Suddenly, he remembered that he could not ride a horse at all, so he quickly changed his words and shouted: "Prepare carts."

, prepare the car, my crutch, what are you doing!"

Li Jian’s first counselor Xu Enmou walked over quickly, “Prince?”

Li Jian whispered: "I'm afraid the matter in Tanzhou has happened. My father must be furious. What if Sima Ren is to be punished?"

"Your Highness, no matter what, he must keep Sima Ren. He will be the winner to restrain the Sixth Prince and even defeat the Sixth Prince in the future." Xu Enmao said affirmatively.

"But if you lose Tanzhou, what's more serious is if you lose several major mines in Tanzhou. The father's anger is hard to calm down. Even Cao Yi, Guan Pengju and others will never speak for the Sima family. The fourth brother updates

He will cause trouble." Li Jian looked embarrassed.

"Han Zhong!" Xu Enmao spitted out two words.

Li Jian's eyes lit up, "I understand!"

Xu Enmao helped Li Jian onto the carriage, "The prince is going well and calm down."

Seeing Li Jian's carriage leaving quickly, a ridiculous thought suddenly flashed in Xu Enmao's mind, "If the bell of Xuanwu Gate rang out because the old emperor learned about Tanzhou and vomited blood and died of death, it would be perfect.

, The eldest prince will ascend to the throne directly under the support of the armed forces in the capital, which would be so convenient!"

Shaking his head and trying hard to drive this idea out of his mind. The throne of the emperor is so easy. Not to mention that the left and right Wuwei is in Feng Congyi's hands, the left and right Jinwu is in Cheng Qun's hands, and the left and right prison guard is in Xue Chengyi's hands,

The three armed forces exceed 60,000, which is definitely not something that the eldest prince can control. If the old emperor leaves a few words before his death, it will be a civil war. In this case, both Li Jian and him will have to do so.

As a result of the civil war, Li Xiao controlled several states in the south, which was the granary of the world. Li Jian was not sure of victory, unless the strike was successful, Li Xiao was directly erased. In this way, Li Jian would be the easiest to take the lead.

.

As a prince, Li Xiao would not die easily. Only when he was allowed to go to the border town and confront the Mongolian army would he have the opportunity to do this, and he would not reveal any flaws and would criticize the world.

In the Tai Chi Hall, Emperor Yongle Li Jia lay on the bed with a pale face. There was no one else in the room except Wen Zhaolun. Turning his face sideways and looking at Wen Guanglun with a expressionless face, Li Jia suddenly laughed bitterly, "Do you think I'm very

fail?"

Wen Zhaolun said coldly with a calm face: "I only know that if you are so sad and happy again, you will be in a short while!"

"If you die, die. I have been prepared for this day!"

Wen Zhaolun laughed: "Are you really prepared? By the way, you may be prepared yourself, but what about your empire, are you ready to welcome your death?"

Li Jia was silent, "After all, I am an old friend for decades. I can't hide my worries from you. I can do it all in my family and state affairs. Indeed, I am ready to meet death at any time.

But my empire is not ready yet.”

Wen Zhaolun sneered, "You are taking the blame for yourself. If you have such trouble, with your control ability, you will naturally be calm."

Li Jia smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I am alive, and this imperial edict is naturally effective. When I die, this imperial edict will become waste paper and will be thrown into the toilet by them."

"You have twelve sons, it doesn't matter if you have one!" Wen Zhaolun sneered.

"Did you mean to be sentenced to death?" Li Jia was silent for a while, "It's all my sons. If you drink a glass of wine, how will the historical books evaluate me? I will never want to take this step until the last moment."

"Then you just watch your empire be torn into pieces in their hands?"

Li Jia sighed long: "Don't break, no one can establish, Dayue has been peaceful for a long time. Maybe a storm is needed to wash away the dirt here, a group of new forces are needed to wipe out the decline of the officialdom, a group of people need to die and grow up.

A group of people. War is not a bad thing sometimes. Dayue has been peaceful for a long time. Many things cannot be resolved through peaceful means. War is the simplest way. Wealth needs to be redistributed, and elites need to stand out. This is now

The Great Yue can only be achieved in a more intense way.”

Wen Zhaolun looked at Li Jia and said for a while: "Is this what you call the emperor's thought? Do you know how many people will die when the war comes? How many families will be destroyed and their wives and children will be separated?"

"As long as the Great Yue Dynasty can be peaceful for hundreds of years, what's the point of dying some people?" Li Jia sneered.

"Aren't you afraid that this storm will overturn your Great Rise into the storm? Now it's not just foreign aggression, but also internal troubles, not only war, but also a struggle to seize the reserve?" Wen Zhaolun said.

Li Jia sank for a moment, "Either he will be peaceful for hundreds of years or he will fall into it. But Wen Zhaolun, don't think of watching my jokes. I will never do this without being sure. Internal worries do make people

Worry, but foreign aggression can quickly gather the people of Dayue. The Mongolians come well. Don’t see that they have won the victory in the early stage and occupied a large area of ​​our land. However, as the front line is extended, our Dayue’s national strength will be fully

It shows that this is a long-term battle, and the protracted war has never won once in history."

"I hope it's as you said!" Wen Zhaolun shook his head.

"I hope you can make me live longer. You know, I am not afraid of death, but I am worried that once I die, the situation will lose control and will really become what you imagined." Li Jia looked at him beggingly.

Wen Zhaolun.

Wen Zhaolun avoided Li Jia's eyes and said lightly: "That day, in my thatched cottage, I promised that little girl that she would do her best to make you live longer, but you also know that doctors treat diseases but not lives.

, I really have no choice but to that day."

"Very good. When it comes to that day, you must notify me in advance. I need to make final preparations and arrangements according to the situation!" Li Jia smiled, with a little blood on her face, "The little girl you are talking about is the fourth child.

Is Xinna's concubine? Three days ago, the fourth princess brought them in to worship the queen and the concubines. I also met and looked pretty. She could actually invite you, and I would like to reward her heavily."

Wen Zhaolun sighed: "You can't give her the reward she wants. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. I'll give you a few more needles. You're going to court soon. This sickness will make the courtiers.

Looks disheartened!"

With a thud, a cloth bag was spread out, and the silver needle inside was shining. He lifted up a silver needle and stabbed it at Li Jia's forehead. However, Li Jia was undoubtedly convinced and accepted it calmly. However, he still said in his mouth.

He asked, "I can't give it to what this little girl wants? What can I not give to her?"

Wen Zhaolun said annoyedly: "Shut up, if you talk nonsense again, if my needle is slightly tilted, you will die."

Li Jia smiled slightly, closed her mouth obediently, squinted her eyes, and looked at the top of the tent.

Half an hour later, Cao Dan's feminine voice sounded outside: "Your Majesty, the ministers have all arrived at the Tai Chi Hall. Please come to court!"

In the room, Li Jia's face, who pulled out the silver needle, blushed appeared on her face, and she looked much more energetic.
